Under the open border policies of the Democrats, if you illegally enter this country, seek out a Border Patrol agent and make a false asylum claim, you will almost certainly be released into our country.

Excess timber will come out of the forest, and it comes out in only two ways: Either we will carry it out or nature will burn it out.

Our private foresters maintain healthy and resilient forests and they make an awful lot of money doing that.

all that smoke you are burning are our folks' dreams, businesses, everything they had worked so hard to build.

An untended forest is no different than an untended garden. It is going to grow and grow until it chokes itself to death.

I observed the same thing when I toured the footprint of the King Fire 5 years after that fire had decimated the forest.

If that categorical exclusion authority had been available to the El Dorado National Forest as it has been for 7 years to the Tahoe Basin, would the town of Grizzly Flats have survived?

These restrictive laws and the endless litigation that they spawn could been put aside in favor of doing the forest management that would have saved the town of Grizzly Flats.

Parents have a fundamental natural right to raise their children according to their own best judgment.

Meanwhile, in 2019, there were 458,000 border encounters. Yet, under your policies, we're now up to 2.3 million encounters.

According to the Tulare County Sheriff, it was a cartel hit.

They're following the mass migration into this country. That's what the FBI Director told us.

the ESA has recovered 58 species in 50 years at enormous cost, and yet we are losing three species every hour.

Why shouldn't captive breeding programs be used to meet ESA requirements?

One of the great ironies of the ESA is that it often works against the species that it is supposed to protect.

I have a bill that would do exactly that.

Donald J. Trump, the greatest President in my lifetime, from office.

Carter Page, an American hero.

Are you saying that there are 300,000 more American families who have suffered acts of crime as a result of this administration's policies?
